assistant for education innova-
tion to Indiana Governor Mike
Pence. It has been an incredibly
rewarding experience working
in the public sector. I am excited
to be returning to the non-
profit sector in February 2015 as
president & CEO of the Richard
M. Fairbanks Foundation, a
private foundation awarding
grants to nonprofits in Indiana.
I look forward to catching up
with everyone at reunion.”
An update by
Emily Lloyd
Shaw
: “My husband and I live
in the Berkshires in Great Bar-
rington, Mass., where we’ve
been for about 10 years with our
two daughters (8 and 6). I have a
private psychotherapy practice
and my husband has his own
theatrical booking, manage-
ment, and consulting company.
We spend as much time as we
can playing outdoors. Maybe
we could get a ski weekend
together for New Englanders/
Tri-Staters? Looking forward
to our 25th reunion.”
Tom Douglas
sends an
update: “All is swell in Alaska.
Lots of outdoor pursuits at
work and with the family –
skiing, rivers, trails, camping,
working on the homestead.
While in San Francisco in De-
cember,
Hutch Huddleston
and I got together for a raucous
night of dinner and sampling
California wines. Lots of remi-
niscing and, of course, excite-
ment for the big 25.”

and her husband, Aleksey, wel-
comed their third child on July
18. Charlotte writes, “It won’t
be long before Victoria will be
scooting the streets of Wil-
liamsburg, Brooklyn, with her
sister, Lilia (6), and her brother,
Nikolai (4).” Charlotte has been
a music therapist at the Chil-
dren’s Hospital at Montefiore
for the past 11 years, but will
now be focusing her energy and
love on her family and creative
ventures closer to home.

: “After two years, I’m
findingmy rhythm in Connecti-
cut. Eleanor (5.5) just started
kindergarten (gulp), Oliver (4)
is as big as his sister, Martha
(2.5) does her best to keep up
with the big kids and Louisa (1)
is fat and happy and smiley. I
continue to write and design
and create for my website/blog
www.ciburbanity.com. Born
when we left N.Y.C., Ciburbanity
stands for city+suburb+sanity
and it’s been the perfect outlet
while I’m home with four young
children. I’d love to hear from
everyone, so stop by and leave
me a comment!
